Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (C), (A), (D), (B)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Cr: [Ar]} 3d^5 4s^1 \) \( \text{Cr}^{2+}: 3d^4 \implies 4 \text{ 3d-electrons} \) \( \text{Cu: [Ar]} 3d^{10} 4s^1 \) \( \text{Cu}^{+}: 3d^{10} \implies 10 \text{ 3d-electrons} \) \( \text{Ti: [Ar]} 3d^2 4s^2 \) \( \text{Ti}^{3+}: 3d^1 \implies 1 \text{ 3d-electron} \)…
